3. Representations and Warranties of the Buyer
     In order to induce the Company and the Shareholders to enter into this Agreement, each of the Buyer, hereby makes to the Company and the Shareholders the representations and warranties contained in this Section 3:
     3.1 Organization and Corporate Power. Each of the Buyer and each of the Funds is an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all required power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted, to enter into and perform this Agreement and the agreements contemplated hereby to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the purchase of the Securities.
     3.2 Authority and Non-Contravention. Each of the Buyer and each of the Funds has full right, authority and power under its organizational documents to enter into this Agreement and all agreements, documents and instruments executed thereby pursuant hereto and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (to the extent it is a party to any such agreement, document or instrument). This Agreement and all agreements, documents and instruments executed by the Buyer pursuant hereto are valid and binding obligations of the Buyer enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with their respective terms. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all agreements, documents and instruments executed by the Buyer pursuant hereto have been duly authorized by all necessary action under the Buyer’s organizational documents. The execution, delivery and performance by the Buyer of this Agreement and all agreements, documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Buyer pursuant hereto do not: (a) violate or result in a violation of, conflict with or constitute or result in a violation of or default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) or loss of benefit under any provision of the Buyer’s organizational documents; (b) violate, conflict with or result in a violation of, or constitute a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under, any provision of any Legal Requirement applicable to the Buyer; (c) require from

32


 

the Buyer any notice to, declaration or filing with, or consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or other third party; or (d) violate or result in a violation of, or conflict with or constitute or result in a violation of or default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under, accelerate any obligation under, or give rise to a right of termination of, any material contract, agreement, permit, license, authorization or other obligation to which the Buyer is a party or by which the Buyer or its assets are bound.
     3.3 Investment Status. The Buyer is purchasing the Securities for its own account, for investment only and not with a view to, or any present intention of, effecting a distribution of such Securities or any part thereof except pursuant to a registration or an available exemption under applicable law. The Buyer acknowledges that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the securities laws of the State of Israel and cannot be disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any applicable Israeli securities law or an exemption from such registration is available.
     3.4 Experience.
Such Investor meets at least one of the criteria set forth in Exhibit J attached hereto, and accordingly is an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. Such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment.
     3.5 Investment.
The Buyer is acquiring its Securities for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and the Securities are being and will be acquired by it for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and it has no present intention of selling or distributing the Securities, the Acquired Series A-1 Preferred Shares, or Ordinary Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion thereof. Such Buyer understands that: (i) neither the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, nor the Ordinary Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion thereof to be purchased by it have been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein; (ii) the Series A-1 Preferred Shares and the Ordinary Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion thereof will bear a legend to such effect; and (iii) the Company will make a notation on its transfer books to such effect. The Buyer also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities. By executing this Agreement, the Buyer further represents that it does not have at the time of the Closing, any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.
     3.6 Rule 144 and Rule 144A.
The Buyer acknowledges that, because the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion thereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Buyer is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 and Rule 144A

33


 

promulgated under the Securities Act, which rules permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
     3.7 No Public Market.
The Buyer understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, and that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for the Series A-1 Preferred Shares or the Ordinary Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion thereof.
4. Covenants
     4.1 Interim Operations of the Company. Except as may be consented to in writing by the Buyer, the Company hereby covenants to the Buyer and the Funds that, after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date:

          (a) All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the Company, the Shareholders and the Buyer made in this Agreement, in the Disclosure Schedule delivered to the Buyer and all agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith (i) are material, shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the party or parties to whom they are made, and shall survive the Closing regardless of any investigation on the part of such party or its representatives, with all parties hereto reserving their respective rights hereunder, and (ii) shall bind the parties’ successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any successor to the Company by way of acquisition, merger or otherwise), whether so expressed or not, and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall inure to the benefit of the parties (subject to Section 8.11 below) and their respective successors and assigns and to their transferees of Securities, whether so expressed or not.
          (b) The representations and warranties of the Company and the Shareholders contained in Sections 2 and 2A hereof shall expire and terminate and be of no further force and effect after the date which is three (3) months following the Buyer’s receipt of the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, except that any written claim for breach thereof made prior to such expiration date and delivered to the party against whom such claim is made shall survive thereafter and, as to any such claim, such applicable expiration will not effect the rights to indemnification of the party making such claim; provided, however, that any such written claim by the Buyer with respect to (A) a breach of the representations and warranties of the Company or the Shareholders contained in Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.4, Section 2A herein or with respect to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, a willful breach by the Company or the Shareholders may be given at any time, (B) a breach of the representations and warranties of the Company or the Shareholders contained in Section 2.14 or an Infringement Indemnity Claim (as defined below) may be given at any time on or prior to December 31, 2007, and (C) a breach of the representations or warranties contained in Section 2.12 or Section 2.20, may be given at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

42


 

Buyer, the Funds, their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and agents, (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties” and, individually, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, claims, diminution in value, obligations, liens, charges, assessments, judgments, fines, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of a single counsel representing the Buyer Indemnified Parties), as the same are incurred, of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing and consequential damages) (“Losses”) which may be sustained or suffered by any such Buyer Indemnified Party based upon, arising out of, or by reason of:
          (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Shareholder in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in the Disclosure Schedule) or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto,
          (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Company or any Shareholder in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, except with respect to Section 1.10 herein; and
          (c) any (i) injunction in favor of Thermage, Inc., any of its Affiliates or any of its successors in interest (collectively, “Thermage”), issued as a result of a claim or allegation by Thermage that an RF Product (as defined below) infringes upon or violates (or its manufacture, sale and /or use infringes upon or violates) any of Thermage’s U.S. Patents as of the date of the Closing (including without limitation any divisionals, continuations, continuations-in-part thereof or any Patents issuing from any patent applications claiming priority directly or indirectly to (i) such Patents or (ii) any patents or patent applications from which the Patents claim direct or indirect priority) (each, a “Thermage Patent”), which preclude the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ right to sell, manufacture, distribute or otherwise use, its Accent products, Accent Pro products or any other radio frequency-based products (whether now existing or later developed, collectively, the “RF Products”) in the United States, or (ii) any claim or allegation that the RF Products infringe upon or violate (or their manufacture, sale and/or use infringes upon or violates) any Thermage Patent, which results in commercially unreasonable royalty or similar payment obligations by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each of (i) and (ii), an “Infringement Indemnity Claim”).
     7.3 Limitations on Transaction Related Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.2 to the contrary:
          (a) the Shareholder Indemnifying Parties shall not be obligated to provide indemnification for Losses in respect of claims made by any Buyer Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.2 above unless the total of all Losses in respect of claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification shall exceed $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”) in the aggregate, in which case only the total amount of such Losses in excess of the Deductible shall be recoverable by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in accordance with the terms hereof;
          (b) the maximum amount payable by the Shareholder Indemnifying Parties to all Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses in respect of claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 7.2 shall not exceed $11,000,000 (the “Cap”); and

43


 

          (c) in the event of a Qualifying Exit Event, then (i) the Shareholder Indemnifying Parties shall not be obligated to provide indemnification for Losses in respect of any Infringement Indemnity Claim, and (ii) any Loss Payment (as defined below) made by any Shareholder Indemnifying Party (whether by release from escrow or otherwise) for Losses in respect of an Infringement Indemnity Claim shall be repaid to such Shareholder Indemnifying Party by the Buyer Indemnified Party that received such Loss Payment, if, but only if, such repayment does not cause the event triggering such Qualifying Exit Event to fail to qualify as a Qualifying Exit Event;
provided, however, that the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be subject to the limitations of the Deductible or the Cap and shall be entitled to recovery from a Shareholder Indemnifying Party (or, at the sole option of the Buyer and the Funds with respect to any matter subject to indemnification under Section 7.2, from the Company) in respect of claims for indemnification from a Shareholder Indemnifying Party for all Losses in connection with (i) fraud, intentional misrepresentation, a willful breach by a Shareholder or the Company of any of his, her or its representations and warranties under this Agreement, or (ii) the breach by the Company or a Shareholder of any of his, her or its representations or warranties contained in Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.4, Section 2.6(c), Section 2.12, Section 2.20, and Section 2A (“Carve-Out Claims”); provided further, however, that with respect to the breach by any Shareholder of its representations and warranties contained in Section 2A, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to seek indemnification under Section 7.2 from such Shareholder or his, her or its successors, executors, administrators, estate, heirs and assigns.
     7.4 Notice; Payment of Losses; Defense of Third-Party Claims.
          (a) A Buyer Indemnified Party shall give written notice of a claim for indemnification under Section 7.2 to a Shareholder Indemnifying Party promptly after receipt of any written claim by any third party and in any event not later than ten (10) business days after receipt of any such written claim (or not later than five (5) business days after the receipt of any such written claim in the event such written claim is in the form of a formal complaint filed with a court of competent jurisdiction and served on the Buyer Indemnified Party), specifying in reasonable detail the amount, nature and source of the claim, and including therewith copies of any notices or other documents received from third parties with respect to such claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not limit the right of a Buyer Indemnified Party to recover indemnity or reimbursement except to the extent that the Shareholder Indemnifying Party suffers any material prejudice or material harm with respect to such claim as a result of such failure. The Buyer Indemnified Party shall also provide the Shareholder Indemnifying Party with such further information concerning any such claims as the Shareholder Indemnifying Party may reasonably request by written notice.
          (b) Within ten (10) business days after receiving notice of a claim for indemnification or reimbursement, the Shareholder Indemnifying Party shall, by written notice to the Buyer Indemnified Party, either (i) concede or deny liability for the claim in whole or in part, or (ii) in the case of a claim asserted by a third party, advise that the matters set forth in the notice are, or will be, subject to contest or legal proceedings not yet finally resolved. If the Shareholder Indemnifying Party concedes liability in whole or in part, it shall, within thirty (30) business days of such concession, pay the amount of the claim to the Buyer Indemnified Party to

44


 

the extent of the liability conceded. Any such payment shall be made in immediately available funds equal to the amount of such claim so payable. If the Shareholder Indemnifying Party denies liability in whole or in part or advises that the matters set forth in the notice are, or will be, subject to contest or legal proceedings not yet finally resolved, then the Shareholder Indemnifying Party shall make no payment (except for the amount of any conceded liability payable as set forth above) until the matter is resolved in accordance with this Agreement.
          (c) In the case of any third party claim, if, within thirty (30) business days after receiving the notice described in the preceding paragraph (a), the Shareholder Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Buyer Indemnified Party stating that the Shareholder Indemnifying Party would be liable under the provisions hereof for indemnity in the amount of such claim if such claim were valid and that the Shareholder Indemnifying Party disputes and intends to defend against such claim, liability or expense at the Shareholder Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the Shareholder Indemnifying Party and such Shareholder Indemnifying Party shall not be required to make any payment to such Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to such claim, liability or expense as long as the Shareholder Indemnifying Party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense at its own expense; provided, however, that the assumption of defense of any such matters by the Shareholder Indemnifying Party shall relate solely to the claim, liability or expense that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification. If the Shareholder Indemnifying Party assumes such defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, it shall have the right to settle all indemnifiable matters related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled provided the Shareholder Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify such Buyer Indemnified Party therefor will be fully satisfied only by payment of money by the Shareholder Indemnifying Party pursuant to a settlement which includes a complete release of such Buyer Indemnified Party. The Shareholder Indemnifying Party shall keep such Buyer Indemnified Party apprised of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action, shall furnish such Buyer Indemnified Party with all documents and information that such Buyer Indemnified Party shall reasonably request and shall consult with such Buyer Indemnified Party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel provided, however, if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the Shareholder Indemnifying Party and such Buyer Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the reasonable expense of separate counsel for such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Shareholder Indemnifying Party provided that such Shareholder Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay for only one counsel for such Buyer Indemnified Party in any jurisdiction. If no such notice of intent to dispute and defend is given by the Shareholder Indemnifying Party, or if such diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, such Buyer Indemnified Party may undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by such Buyer Indemnified Party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle, such claim, liability or expense (exercising reasonable business judgment) with the consent of the Shareholder Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld). If such claim, liability or expense is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the Shareholder Indemnifying Party, then such Buyer Indemnified Party shall make available all information and assistance that the Shareholder Indemnifying Party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the Shareholder Indemnifying Party in such defense.

45


 

     7.5 Limitation on Contribution and Certain Other Rights. The Company and the Shareholders hereby agree that if, following the Closing, any claim is made by any Shareholder, or otherwise becomes due from any Shareholder, pursuant to this Section 7 in respect of any Losses (a “Loss Payment”), such Shareholder shall have no rights against the Company, or any director, officer or employee thereof (in their capacity as such), whether by reason of contribution, indemnification, subrogation or otherwise, in respect of any such Loss Payment, and shall not take any action against the Company or any such person with respect thereto, provided, however, that this Section 7.5, shall not limit any Shareholder’s rights against any other Shareholders of the Company, in their capacity as such, whether by reason of contribution, indemnification, subrogation or otherwise, in respect of any such Loss Payment resulting from such other Shareholder breach of its representations and warranties under Section 2A.
     7.6 Sole Remedy. Following the Closing, the provisions of this Section 7 shall constitute the exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties by the Company or the Shareholders for any breaches of representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, other than in respect of causes of action based on theories of fraud; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.6 shall limit any Buyer Indemnified Parties to seek specific performance or any other remedy at law or equitable remedy in connection with any breach of Sections 1.3, or 4.8.
     7.7 Setoff; Order of Application.
          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to Section 7.6), each Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any indemnification payment for Losses hereunder, subject to section 7.3, by collecting such amounts from the Indemnification Escrow Amount deposited and held in escrow in accordance with Section 1.8 (the “Escrow Fund”) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
          (b) In the event any portion of the Escrow Fund continues to be held in escrow, prior to collecting any indemnification payment for Losses due hereunder directly from any Shareholder Indemnified Party, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall first exercise their rights to collect such payment from the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to collection of any indemnification payment for Losses due hereunder, except for Losses resulting from Carve-Out Claims, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may solely and exclusively collect indemnification for such Losses from the Escrow Fund and not directly from any Shareholder Indemnified Party.
     7.8 Appointment of Shareholders’ Representative .
     For purposes of this Agreement, the Shareholders by their signature hereto hereby appoint Ziv Karni as the representative and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Shareholders (the “Shareholders’ Representative”), and to the taking by the Shareholders’ Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by him under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including, without limitation, entering into the Escrow Agreement for the benefit of the Shareholders and the exercise of the power to (i) make any and all decisions entitled to be made thereby under the Escrow Agreement, including without limitation, any and all decisions about distribution of any amounts out of the Escrow

Accordingly, the Shareholders’ Representative has unlimited authority and power to act on behalf of each Shareholder with respect to the Escrow Agreement and the disposition, settlement or other handling of all claims for indemnification hereunder. Each Shareholder will be bound by all actions taken by the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with all claims for indemnification made hereunder, and Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Shareholders’ Representative. The Shareholders’ Representative will incur no liability with respect to any action taken or suffered by him in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by him to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person (and shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity thereof), nor for any other action or inaction, except his own willful misconduct or bad faith. In all questions arising under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the Shareholders’ Representative may rely on the advice of counsel, and the Shareholders’ Representative will not be liable to anyone for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Shareholders’ Representative based on such advice. Except as expressly provided herein, the Shareholders’ Representative will not be required to take any action involving any expense unless the payment of such expense is made or provided for in a manner satisfactory to him. In the event the Shareholders’ Representative shall cease to serve in such capacity for any reason, the Shareholders having at such time a majority of the proportional interests of the Escrow Amount (out of the aggregate proportional interests thereof of all such Shareholders) shall appoint a new representative as the Shareholders’ Representative by sending notice of such appointment to the Buyer and the Escrow Agent (and the provisions of this Section 7.8 shall apply with respect to such newly appointed Shareholders’ Representative as if originally appointed by the Shareholders hereunder). Such appointment will be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such notice or the date such notice is received by the Buyer and the Escrow Agent.

          (a) For the purposes of this Agreement and all agreements, documents and instruments executed pursuant hereto, no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto and no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any rights hereunder or thereunder shall operate as a waiver of the rights hereof and thereof. No covenant or provision hereof may be waived otherwise than by a written instrument signed by the party or parties so waiving such covenant or other provision as contemplated herein.
          (b) No amendment to this Agreement may be made without the written consent of the Company, a majority in interest of the Shareholders (determined based on each Shareholder’s Pro Rata Percentage as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (subject to adjustment, if at all, pursuant to Section 1.2(b))) and the Buyer; provided, however, that no

     8.7 Dispute Resolution
          (a) All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the negotiation, breach, validity, termination or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration to be conducted before J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. in Boston, Massachusetts before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”). The parties understand and agree that this arbitration shall apply equally to claims of fraud or fraud in the inducement.
          (b) The parties covenant and agree that the arbitration shall commence within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto (the “Filing Date”). In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the Arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the Arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the Arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than seven (7) business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witnesses or experts. The Arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Filing Date. The Arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The Arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
          (c) The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will, except as provided in Section 7.2 of this Agreement, (i) bear their own attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration, and (ii) share equally in the fees and expenses charged by the Arbitrator. Any party unsuccessfully refusing to

50


 

comply with an order of the Arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. This Section 8.7 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm or to enforce its rights under any non-competition covenants.
     8.8 Consent to Jurisdiction. Except as provided in Section 8.7(c) and 8.9, each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the jurisdiction of J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the negotiation, breach, validity, termination or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and further consents to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of Section 8.7 of this Agreement. Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before the Arbitrator based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim in any court that arbitration before the Arbitrator has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.
     8.9 Remedies; Severability. Notwithstanding Sections 8.7 and 8.8 above, subject to Section 7.6. above, it is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents, or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or of the provisions of the Articles, by any person subject hereto will result in irreparable injury to the other parties hereto, that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that, in addition to any other remedies which they may have, such other parties may enforce their respective rights by actions for specific performance (to the extent permitted by law). Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and such prohibition or invalidity shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement.

This Agreement, including the exhibits, documents and instruments referred to herein or therein constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, including, without limitation, the provisions of the letter of intent between the parties hereto in respect of the transactions contemplated herein, which provisions of the letter of intent shall be completely superseded by the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein.
     8.11 Assignability; Binding Agreement. The Buyer may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to any transferee of its Securities. This Agreement may not otherwise be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of each other party hereto. This Agreement

51


 

(including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 7) shall be binding upon and enforceable by, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators and permitted assigns, and no others. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as provided in Section 7.2 hereof, nothing in this Agreement is intended to give any Person not named herein the benefit of any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.
     8.12 Expenses. The parties hereby agree that promptly after the Closing, the Company shall reimburse the Buyer for reasonable accounting, banking and legal fees and disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transaction Expenses”). All Transaction Expenses of the Company and/or the Shareholders hereunder, including but not limited to any fees payable to William Blair & Company shall be paid by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing in accordance with Section 6.1(d), each party hereto shall be responsible for any and all fees and expenses incurred by such party hereunder, including, with limitation, any Transaction Expenses.
     8.13 Publicity. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release acceptable to the Company, the Shareholders and the Buyer. Thereafter, the Company and the Shareholders shall keep confidential and not disclose the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby without prior consultation with the Buyer, except as may be required by law and then only after the Buyer has been afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the same.
